Re: Saddle up your high horses, Here comes Trouble
I’ve always thought ppl tend to elope as last resort, when they have no other choice (esp in our culture).. If parents know that their son or daughter likes someone instead of being stubborn and saying ‘no way are you ever going to end up with him’ perhaps they should compromise (eg say ‘after you’ve finished studying you can marry’ or let the couple meet as long as others are present).. Extreme measures by parents often seem to result in extreme behaviour from their children.. I honestly can’t imagine many Pakistani or Indian girls running away for ‘fun.’
